How to take a legal action against a company in the UAE for delayed dues
I work for a company in Egypt and we had a contracted partnership with a company in the UAE.
They haven't paid us for a very long time. We invoiced them and they keep telling us that they're settling some things and will wire us the delayed payment, but this has been going on for several months now and they are pretty much ignoring us.
We're thinking of taking legal action but would like to know how things are done in the UAE.
Thank you!

Dear client,
Good day!
If you have the invoice signed and stamped by the other party, we can file for urgent action petition or order on petition in Dubai and get the full amount plus 9% to 12% interest as per law.
However, if the invoice is not stamped and signed, it takes 3-4 months approximately for us to get the judgment and proceed accordingly.
For further assistance, please feel free to contact us via phone or email.
Thank you!
